I guess government corruption doesn't pay what it used to?

I work under someone, so I'm pretty incompetent in my corruptness.

Government corruption is way too sophisticated to benefit the poor worker at the coal face. I suppose having more than 3 "sports" cars will only draw unnecessary attention from the "have nots"..

I also work within a very nicely oiled machine feeding on greed!! Can't say no more but boy does it stink!

The funny thing is that they're always running anti-corruption courses!!

Me: "So if you think about it, the minimum for multitasking is completing two tasks at once, so you have 200% of the work at 60% capacity for each, or 10% additional output per task, for 20% total increase in efficiency."

C: "However you want to spin it."

M: "That's not spinning, that's just mathematics, no?"

C: "Enjoy the rest of your day."

Side note: I get annoyed by people who quote statistics from Facebook articles with neither checking nor really thinking about what they're saying.

the worst! "I saw A study that said X.". oh really you saw one "study" and now that's the gospel for that issue? seems to me you know just enough about "science" to make yourself look foolish.

Yeah! Assholes. Hey, wait a sec...

I know you were semi joking but get sick of the constant slamming of guys that are simple business owners trying to make a living. My wife has worked for dealers for 30 years and I do not think she or any of the people she worked for met any of your descriptions.

Sure there are some that meet the description but they don't last long. Our local Mitsubishi dealer was bought by a guy that tried to run it like the perpetuated stereotype and it lasted all of 4 years before people stopped going there and they sold to somebody that had the brains to do it right. If every single interaction you have had with a dealer has been bad then maybe, just maybe, the dealerships are not the problem.

Oh, I am keenly aware of where the problems live. There are many and they span all industries. Dealerships are just the unfortunate poster children.

It really boils down to the 80/20 rule. When I find a kindred spirit, I make damn sure I maintain that relationship because it is rare and priceless.

@Sarlacc, I updated my title in honor of your return.

When you eat chicken strips/fingers... do you dip it in BBQ sauce? Honey mustard? Ketchup? or something else?
